Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 220

Fan Ning followed Bao Zheng into the official room and sat down. A tea boy served them tea. Bao Zheng asked with a smile, "When do you plan to return home?"

"In a few days, complete the formalities of the official department, and then go back."

"That's good, get it done as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

Fan Ning was a little puzzled, and asked: "Is there a difference between whether the official department will go through the formalities sooner or later?"

Bao Zheng laughed, "After the imperial examination is over, it's time for the scholars to compete in the official department. It cannot be denied that this mainly depends on their background background, but the background background is not all. It also depends on their own results in the imperial examination. There will always be preferential treatment for those who pass the Jinshi examination, and the rules on the scene still need to be explained.

It is also a reality that if candidates do not have a backstage background and their own test scores are average, the earlier they go through the formalities, the chances will be slightly more. "

"What about the Children's Department? Won't they also arrange official positions for us?" Fan Ning asked again.

Bao Zheng shook his head, "The boy's department is different from the Jinshi department. Generally speaking, after the boy's exam is passed, he continues to study, and enters Taixue, Hongwenguan, etc., and the food and lodging expenses are all borne by the court.

Three years later, a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted. If the evaluation fails, you have to continue studying. If you pass the evaluation, you may become an official. However, it is not an official position such as county magistrate or county magistrate. Most of them are teaching assistants in Taixue, or go to If you have a doctorate in state studies, you will have the opportunity to be a county magistrate after the age of 20. "

Fanning was really disappointed, he was only 13 years old, should he be made to wait another seven years?
"Should I also go to Taixue to study?"

Bao Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Being No. 1 in the Boys' Department, there will always be some preferential treatment. Back then, Yan Xianggong was 14 years old and passed the No. 1 Boys' Department. Feng Lilang of Taichang Temple, in another year, he will be appointed as the prime minister of Guanglu Temple, and I guess you will be the same, the possibility of granting the secretary province is the most likely, after all, it is No.1 in the second class."

"Then what does the secretary do to save orthographic characters?"

"Usually, I calibrate the books in the Secretary's Pavilion, but it may also be to accompany the prince to study. It depends on how the emperor uses you."

Fan Ning nodded silently. He wanted to relax a little bit. Calibrating books in the Secretary's Pavilion was good. It just depended on his luck.

At this time, Bao Zheng asked with a smile: "You came to me to ask about this matter?"

"No! No! I want to ask Uncle Shi for help with something."

Fan Ning took out the betting deposit ticket from the Fugui Bridge Guanpu Store, and handed it to Bao Zheng, "Please look at this, Master!"

Bao Zheng looked at it and couldn't help exclaiming: "Wu Chun made a bet that you won the boy's first place, and even bet a hundred. This is... three thousand two hundred taels of silver!"

"There are a few more!"

Fan Ning handed the other three betting slips to Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng was even more surprised, "Four Pure Fifty Bet on Feng Jing's No. [-] Scholar, and this One Hundred Bet on Feng Jing's No. [-] Scholar in the Examination."

Bao Zheng silently calculated, and the four orders won a total of 200 taels of silver.

He exclaimed, "Who made this bet? It's very courageous and lucky!"

"My cousin staked it at the old Caomen Guanpu store. He went to exchange it early this morning, but the Fuguiqiao Guanpu store in the old Caomen was closed."

"If there is such a thing, then you can go to the main store!"

Fan Ning shook his head, "Now the main store firmly refuses to admit it, saying that there is no such thing, saying that my cousin is a liar, and he made fake orders to get their money."

"How do you cheat? It doesn't make sense! Guanpu store has a reservation list and records, so you can find out if you check it. With such a large amount of betting and winning chances, who would cheat?"

"Of course it's not a fake. I bought it with my cousin. Now because of the huge loss, the Guanpu store doesn't recognize it. My cousin wants to sue."

After pondering for a while, Bao Zheng understood that the Fuguiqiao Guanpu store was opened by the Zhang family. Fan Ning was worried that other officials would not dare to offend the Zhang family, so he found himself.

He also happened to be able to take advantage of this incident, knocked Zhang Yaozuo from the side, and Bao Zheng nodded slowly: "Tell your cousin, submit the complaint directly. I will take this case!"

. . . . . . . . .

At dusk, Zhang Yaocheng found his elder brother Zhang Yaozuo.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Yaozuo raised his voice and said very annoyed: "Someone actually went to the Kaifeng government office to sue Guanpu shop, who is so courageous?"

"I've asked someone about it. The person who sued us is named Fan, and his name is Mingren!"

"Surname Fan?"

Zhang Yaozuo suddenly became vigilant, why is his surname Fan again, and what does it have to do with Fan Ning?
He calmed down slowly and sat back in his seat. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to sue the officials?"

"There are a few bills that bet heavily on Fan Ning and Feng Jing, and Guan Pudian will pay a total of 1 taels of silver. The compensation is too heavy, and I cannot accept it!"

To actually pay 1 taels of silver, this amount is indeed a bit heavy, no wonder the brother doesn't want to pay, he can understand.

Zhang Yaozuo took two steps with his hands behind his back, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

"This matter should be reported to the Bianliang county government. Why did it go to the Kaifeng government office? Who took the case?"

Zhang Yaocheng said in a low voice: "Bao Zheng took the case!"

"Bao Zheng!"

Zhang Yaozuo lost his voice and called out this name that he hated so much, targeting himself everywhere, but the emperor still listened to him.

Zhang Yaozuo faintly felt something was wrong, how could it be such a coincidence?Instead of going to the county government office, he leapfrogged to the Kaifeng government government office, but it happened that Bao Zheng took the case again.

"There is a hall of fame!"

The more Zhang Yaozuo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He turned his head and said to his brother, "You'd better make peace with this Fan Mingren. It's not about money. If Bao Zheng seized this matter to make a fuss, the reputation and image of the Zhang family will be greatly damaged. Maybe some unsightly things will be dug up.”

"The problem is, the Kaifeng government office sent a subpoena this afternoon, specifying that I should go to the government office to respond to the lawsuit tomorrow morning. Big brother, do I want to go or not?"

Zhang Yaozuo glared at his brother in dissatisfaction, "Didn't you understand what I mean? Hurry up and settle with that Fan Mingren, give him the money that should be paid, and let him withdraw the lawsuit, Bao Zheng will not be able to catch it."

Zhang Yaocheng was sweating profusely, bowed his head and said, "I don't know where this complainant lives? I really don't know where to find him?"

"You said just now that this person surnamed Fan made a bet at the old Caomen store?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Yaozuo thought of Fan Ning. Didn't Fan Ning live in the old Caomen area?

His intuition told him that Fan Ning must have something to do with this Fan Mingren, and he really shouldn't be careless about this matter.

Zhang Yaozuo pondered for a long time and asked again: "Since you said those bets were fake, what preparations do you have?"

Zhang Yaocheng hurriedly said: "I have arranged for the shopkeeper who received them to go to the Chenzhou store. I have also destroyed a few of their bottom slips, and I have altered the accounting books into other betting slips. In short, in my There is no evidence in the store."

"Witnesses? Have they any witnesses?"

"For something like Guan Pu, as long as there is no evidence in my store, it's useless to have witnesses. What can he do?"

"What can he do?"

Zhang Yaozuo saw that the third brother looked down on the other party, so he couldn't help saying angrily: "He can seal up all your Guanpu shops, does the other party have any witnesses?"

Zhang Yaocheng scratched his head, "Probably not! There are at most a few Shengdou people, it doesn't make much sense, and they can't find them either."

Zhang Yaozuo felt dizzy for a while, meeting Bao Zheng, this matter was really difficult to deal with!
． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
While the Zhang brothers were discussing countermeasures, Fan Ning and Ming Ren drank and ate at the Copper Scissors Rose Chicken Shop in Old Caomen Wazi.

Next to Fan Ning, there was another fair-skinned and handsome young man, who was naturally Zhu Pei who disguised himself as a man.

Zhu Pei came here to celebrate Fan Ning. She wanted to take Fan Ning to Zhu Lou for a drink, but Fan Ning insisted on having dinner at Jiu Cao Men Wa Zi. Fan Ning felt that the small shop in Jiu Cao Men Wa Zi was more comfortable.

Zhu Pei could only do what he wanted and come to this kind of snack shop to eat with him.

Fanning chopped up a whole chicken with brass snips, and gave Jupe a nice breast.

"The chicken of this restaurant is very fragrant. You have to try it, and it is guaranteed to be as good as the taste of the big restaurant."

Zhu Pei is in a good mood today. If Akihito is not around, she will be happier. She took a bite of the chicken and tasted it. It was really good. She immediately smiled and said, "It's quite unique, I like this rose scent very much .”

Seeing that she liked it, Fan Ning took the chicken leg with her, and Zhu Pei hurriedly gave the chicken leg to Fan Ning, "A little bit is enough for me, this is too much, you can eat it yourself!"

Mingren looked envious, when will there be a beautiful little lady holding chicken legs for him?

"Ah Ning, what if Guanpudian changes all the records?" Ming Ren asked a little worriedly.

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "Do you still remember that Cao Zongshi? I will go to Taixue to look for him tomorrow morning. As long as he is willing to testify and he has a Guanpu ticket in his hand, even if the Guanpu store changes the record, it will be useless. Sentence them for breaking the agreement."

"I think the Zhang family will reconcile with Ming Ren!"

Zhu Pei laughed and said, "Anyway, the Zhang family doesn't know about the relationship between the two of you. Zhang Yaozuo is very afraid of Bao Zheng."

"A'Ning, do you think you will?" Mingren asked.

Fan Ning thought for a while and said, "It's possible. If they propose a settlement, you can ask for an exorbitant price. In addition to the full exchange, you have to pay them an equal amount of money."

"Equivalent compensation? How could they agree!" Ming Ren's eyes widened.

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "I didn't intend to reconcile with them, but I was denied the interview opportunity during the palace examination. If Zhang Yaozuo didn't play tricks in the middle, I wouldn't believe it!"
